Package: diction
Version: 1.10~rc4-1
Severity: normal

I had this big text file that confused 'style'.  Whittling down the
big file produced:

    % echo "Um..." | style ; echo $?
    style: style.c:676: style: Assertion `length>=2' failed.
    Aborted
    134

Yet if the string 'Um' is changed to something like 'Hey', it
works.  Further experiment shows the error requires:

        1) a line ending with ellipsis, i.e. '...'.
        2) immediately preceded a 2 char word.
        3) The first letter of the 2 char word capitalized.

Hope this helps...
